In an interview with a news portal, the director of Farhan Akhtar’s Dongri to Dubai spoke about this situation. Shujaat Saudagar, the director, mentioned that the lockdown extension and the upcoming monsoon pose as a problem for the set, according to a news portal.

The director continued by saying that they have spent a lot of effort and time in creating Dongri from the ’80s and ’90s. According to the director, the makers did not want to let go off the aesthetics of that time period and hence everything built on the set was made to suit that time period. He further added that it is a huge set and creating it again will be a challenging experience. He assured, however, that they will try to salvage it as much as possible. In conclusion, the director added that another set was built in Vile Parle as well, where the makers have finished a major portion of shooting and are not worried about that set. However, it was the Madh Island set that had been untouched due to the lockdown hence it feels difficult to let that set be, according to a news portal.
